This bibliometric analysis explores the landscape of research on the associations between Fusobacterium and preterm birth.Premature births are a major cause of infant mortality and have detrimental consequences in adulthood, negatively affecting both cardiovascular health and neuropsychological development.Among the numerous etiological factors of premature birth, infections of the genital tract and oral cavity in women hold a prominent position.Nutrient deficiencies during pregnancy can further exacerbate susceptibility to infections, including those caused by Fusobacterium, which may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth.This study employs bibliometric analysis to amalgamate existing literature, discern patterns, and steer future investigations.Using the Scopus database, English-language articles on Fusobacterium and premature birth were selected based on specific inclusion criteria.The results reveal a dynamic field with significant global impact, highlighting collaborative efforts and multidimensional approaches.Trends in publications from 1980 to 2024 show fluctuating levels of research activity.Key journals, influential authors, and leading affiliations are spotlighted, underscoring their global contributions to the field.Keyword analysis uncovers thematic research patterns, while citation analysis identifies highly influential publications.However, limitations include database biases, incomplete metadata, and search query specificity.Given the rising prevalence of premature births, there is an urgent need to further explore the role of bacteria.This analysis offers a comprehensive overview, enriching the ongoing dialogue on preterm birth research.
